MUBI Notebook profiles graphic designer Caspar Newbolt through an interview examining his aesthetic philosophy and ten favorite movie posters. The piece centers on Newbolt’s design for Rob Rice’s upcoming experimental comic-horror feature Ponderosa, premiering at Tribeca 2026, which follows a young man navigating unwanted paternal advances from a wealthy benefactor. Newbolt recounts his unconventional entry into poster design through Manhattan’s underground film scene, crediting filmmaker Tim Sutton as a crucial collaborator on seven features. He articulates a design manifesto prioritizing artistic autonomy over genre conventions—deliberately avoiding reference to existing film posters to create visually autonomous work functioning as standalone art objects. His philosophy emphasizes poetic resonance over commercial promotion, drawing inspiration from sources beyond cinema to forge distinctive visual languages.
